WrestleMania X8 Live Discussion - March 29, 2020

You think he woulda walked out of 'Mania if Vince told him Hall was going over clean?

That's the prevailing theory. Austin threw a fit and got the finish changed. Hall and Nash think so because otherwise they would have been told way before the day of the finish had been changed.

That was the idea. nWo was supposed to look lieka threat. Hence why the nWo is sprayed over all the alternate poster and shirts. Once nWo lost both these matches, it was over.

I still think CLEAN is a big stretch, heels so rarely win clean in wrestling anyway. Hall would have had to had done SOMETHING at least slighly dirty to win lol

How long until hall gets fired

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Hall is great but he's not beating Austin at WrestleMania great

You make me sad. So nWo are a threat, but not big enough threat to beat anybody?

How long until hall gets fired

Less than a month I think, that plane ride was at the end of April if I remember right

I never said clean. That was EC's post. Nash probably helped him win.

May I think.

Nash could have beat someone at this event

Nash could have beat someone at this event (Thread reply)

I still don't know why he wasn't booked.

 

[Chris]

My post you quoted also said clean in it too lol

 

[Chris]

But if you missed that one word then everything still makes sense

 

[Hoss]

You make me sad. So nWo are a threat, but not big enough threat to beat anybody?

If that's what you wanna do then sure, that's the way to go. But nWo being a dominant force in WWF in 2002 doesn't appeal to me much, so I have no gripes with Austin going over.

 

[Chris]

Just disregard my reply lol

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Huh? I'm confused when did I say it was supposed to be clean?

 

[Chris]

You didn't but I asked if you thought Austin would have walked if Hall was booked CLEAN over him and you quoted it and said "That was the plan...etc." I think you just missed me saying clean in my post lol
